Abstract
Indonesia is one of the world’s richest countries in terms of
biodiversity, spanning 5,400 km along the equator and
encompassing more than 17,000 islands. Indonesia has a large
protected area network, however its coverage is uneven; both in
terms of biodiversity and in terms of the allocation of human and
financial resources. The weakest coverage is in the islands of East
Indonesia, in particular within the 1,000s of islands of Sulawesi,
Maluku and Nusa Tenggara; as provinces bigger in size than many
south-east Asian and Pacific countries.
